To this this shot you square up the face. You need it to dig into the sand. I like taking the club into the backswing and hitting down on the ball stopping the club a few feet after the ball. I learned this shot a little while ago and really like it. It’s great for hard sand or no sand. So set up square. Have the face square. Pick the club up going back. Accelerated down and through impact. The ball will pop out and the club only goes through a few feet. Hopefully you get it. If not you will have to wait until I shoot this one.
